This year marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which claimed the lives of 2,977 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Stonycreek Township, Pennsylvania. The Marquette community joins together in prayer in remembrance of those lost.
Marquette University Naval ROTC placed 2,977 American flags in Westowne Square in remembrance of those who lost their lives on 9/11.
PEACE PRAYER
Attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans (1181–1226)
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born
to eternal life.
The Arrupe Center for Community Service and Social Responsibility will host a series of events this fall in observance of the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, the day of service Congress established in 2009 to honor those who were lost and those who rose in service. More information is available on Marquette Today.
